Primordial Harem System

Chapter 102: Green Jade Alchemy Pavilion



But in Green Mountain City, they were everywhere on the streets, just like dogs walking everywhere.

'It's quite lively here.' Shen Yuan mused inwardly, as he traveled through the crowd, glancing around the stalls to see if anything could arouse his interest.

But all the herbs were too low tier for him, the vast majority of them were Tier 1 herbs, and a few were at the Tier 2 level but they were much rarer than Tier 1 herbs.

He ignored them and casually glanced at a vendor in a corner of the marketplace.

The elderly man was sitting inside his small shop with a straw hat. Looking as if he was bored from selling herbs all day.

He wasn't interested in the herbs there but in the old man himself as he could sense that his cultivation base was a lot higher than others.

He had even hidden his cultivation base and was only releasing the Inner Sea Realm aura.

[Shen Yuan, did you notice that old man? His cultivation base is a lot higher than he lets out.]

Shen Yuan smirked lightly, 'Of course I noticed it, but he is just another cultivator, I can't really go to each bored old man who decided to hide their cultivation base and pretend to be mysteriously in front of juniors right?'

He paused as he looked at the bigger buildings further in the city, 'Let's see if I can trade my half-assed Alchemy knowledge for something.'

Yue Lan gave him a disdainful glance as she spoke,

[The Basic Alchemy Manual is a priceless treasure for the people here, not because of its high grade but because of how much knowledge it has. The Alchemist here only knows about the herbs they grow here or around this area or almost this Aurora Zone. But that manual covers all mortal herbs and basic knowledge about Tier 1 and Tier 2.]

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrow in confusion, 'Wasn't the number of herbs too low then? Ah, is it because my Sea of Consciousness won't be able to handle that much information so you cut it into parts? And don't say I will have to pay to get those parts as well.'

Yue Lan's bell-like laughter sounded in his mind, as she spoke,

[Then what do you think? That you can get the whole Basic Alchemy Manual for only 5000 Chaos Coins? It only consists of this area's herbs.]

Shen Yuan felt like he got scanned by this black-hearted merchant as he asked in an annoyed tone, 'How big of an area are you talking about?'

[You will have to find that out yourself.]

Shen Yuan ignored her and continued walking deeper into the city where prestigious shops were established.

At this place, instead of only herbs, pills started showing up, but they were all sealed inside bottles or formations to keep the effectiveness of the pills at their peak.

There were also protective formations set up to prevent the unworthy ones from touching them.

He could feel the difference in the atmosphere of this place compared to the area filled with street vendors.

He was about to approach an establishment when he heard a heated discussion from some distance away.

Two cultivators were arguing about the price of a Tier 1 pill, one of them, a skinny young man with shady eyes, argued loudly, "500 Platinum coins for a single Mid Grade Tier 1 Pill?? This is daylight robbery! At most, I will give you 300."

The other cultivator, a well-built man with long hair, snorted, "Hmph! Then you can go and buy from somewhere else. With the shortage of high-quality herbs this season, the prices have spiked of these Healing Pills. Everyone who goes out to hunt needs them. I'm not running a charity here brat."

Shen Yuan shook his head as he listened to their banter, 'It seems I underestimated the profession of Alchemist, even in such a place filled with them, even a tier 1 pill can cause a stir. Or the market is in low supply of it.'

He moved past them, continuing on his way to the first establishment he had seen before. It was a large building with intricate carvings of cauldron and fire in front of a large green mountain.

The signboard read, 'Welcome to Green Jade Alchemy Pavilion.'

'This place seems quite high class.' He thought as he made up his mind and entered the building.

The interior was much more peaceful than the bustling marketplace. The shop was decorated simply with rows and rows of pill bottles showcased inside formations.

Each bottle was labeled with its name and its effects. There was a counter at the end of the shop where a young woman in blue robes stood, attending to a customer.

Shen Yuan casually wandered around the store, looking at the various pills as he had a lot of different types of pills from the quests he had done before.

'Ah, Yue Lan, now that I think about it, why are there no quests currently?' he asked curiously as he hadn't gotten any quest for quite some time now.

[You were getting quests before subconsciously by me since I wasn't awake. Now I can give you a quest actively.]

As soon as she finished speaking, a quest window popped up in front of Shen Yuan.

[Ding!]

[New Quest: Settle the past karma.]

[Quest Details: Go look for your old friend's sect to give his belongings to his family and tell them about his unfortunate demise.]

[Rewards: One Heavenly Bloodline]

Shen Yuan read the quest description with a sad look on his face. "It's about time I settle this Karma." He muttered softly to himself.

[Yes, karmic ties are important, Shen Yuan, you need to resolve all your mortal karma so it won't form a Heart Demon.]

She warned him about the possible dangers of karmic ties, making him nod his head heavily.

"Do not worry Yue Lan, I won't forget my karma, I already asked about his sect. It is some distance away from Green Mountain."

He paused as he made up his mind, "I will travel there in a couple of days."

Yue Lan didn't say anything else and let him explore the shop. He soon came to the counter where the young woman in alchemist robes was standing.

"Hello, did you find anything to your liking, Sir?" She politely asked, looking at his noble demeanor.

Shen Yuan smiled politely, "Can I sell my herbs here?"

The young woman paused, thinking for a moment, "We only buy herbs in bulk or if it's a high-ranking herb, Sir. If you still want to sell your herbs then you can bring them out. I will appraise them and give you an appropriate value."

"Yes, of course I want to sell them, here," he waved his hand and dropped a massive amount of herbs on the counter.

The young woman's eyes slightly widened in surprise seeing the amount of herbs that the young man was selling, but soon she smiled happily and started appraising them.

The young woman carefully inspected each herb, her hands moving with such speed that Shen Yuan was doubting if she was even checking them properly.
